Facebook page SEO optimization
-
Hi, how could I optimize Facebook page for SEO? how can I get a title like this: Brand | Facebook in the Search Result pages?

Excellent! Thanks Richard!

I understand. It comes down to the type of Facebook page you decide to use for your business - this is going to be a double edged sword for how you want the title to look and your local SEO objectives.
If you choose to build a "brand" page in facebook then the tittle tag will automatically appear as you want it ( **Brand Name | Facebook ). **But these brand pages do not carry any local SEO value because it is not tied to a physical location. This is often used by large national companies that don't have physical locations. Also alot of small local businesses have this style of page because they set it up wrong to start with, I've had many clients like this.
If you select a local business page, then it appears as I mention above (Brand Name - Location - Category | Facebook). The presence of your NAP (name, address, & phone #) aligns with your local SEO effort.
So if your goal is Local Search Optimization, you need to stick with the local business page style on Facebook. Switching to a brand page would hurt your rankings. Optimizing for Local Search is not going to always be pretty.
Hope that helps! Good Luck.

Thanks Richard. Is for Local Search, but i didn´t undertand the part of Facebook NAP.
When I search "X Company Facebook" in Google, the organic results shows:
Brand Name ** | ** Facebook
I want to know how can I optimize my page so when people search my company + Facebook, they see that type of title without the location and category fields, because right now when I search my company + Facebook, the page title looks like this:
Brand Name- Mexico City, Mexico.......-Facebook
Thanks!

Little bit of a strange question. Are you trying to optimize the page for Local Search or just general SEO?
As far as the page title for your Facebook page, you have very little control. Facebook is in control of the page title since it's under their domain. The typical format for Facebook Business Page titles is :
Brand Name - Location - Category | Facebook
As for Local Search, the page title on your Facebook page does not really play a part. Having your Facebook NAP and other info match that of your Google+ and other listings is the primary factor.
For General SEO, having a facebook page that points back to your brand and regular sharing of blog post can help optimize YOUR website.
Hope that helps.

Any suggestions on how to present the 500 hotels within their facebook page so that they generate maximum traffic and interaction? No intention to offer checkout on facebook. E.g. adding image of each hotel in the photo album with link to website and some information about hotel. Any ideas? Any good posts or articles on the topic?

Facebook Pages - Best to have one page or multiple pages when a company has multiple locations?
I'm working with a business that has multiple locations (13) in several different states. Is it best practice to have one central FB page for the company and/or separate location pages? It's for a self storage company that does not have one central phone number, so each location would have separate information listed on the page. They do have a central website with different pages for each location. I'd love to hear the communities thoughts on the best way to handle this.

What could Google+ do for your SEO?
If your a Google+ wizard and do everything right, so optimise your profile, pick up 1000's of followers, followers engage with your posts by adding a comment or a plus, followers are even going to your website and sharing content using the Google plus button etc. What kind of effect would this have on your SEO? Would this kind of activity improve your Auth? Side question: Forget the above, what movement would you expect if one of your pages received 1000 plus's from real users, would you expect to see a jump in SERP's I know every website is different, im just looking to see what I could expect if the work was put in to achieve the above.

Merge Facebook profiles for SEO?
We are considering merging facebook profiles for our three stores. If we do this, users will not be able to "check in" at a location, but wouldn't it be better to have 4,000 fans on one profile than to have 2,500, 1,000, and 500 fans on the three profiles? The main site for these stores is also an ecommerce site.
